Hi @butlerweb thanks for the response!

I’m not using xprofile fields because I didn’t want to add a birthdate field and whatnot, just wanted to display my current profile extension fields. Is that not possible without the install of xProfile Fields?

Thanks.

I think this is what i’m looking for:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/displaying-extended-profile-fields-on-member-profiles/

So far this is as close as I have gotten:

public static function get_extended_fields( $user_id ) {
		
		$fields = array();
		
		/* Get User Extended Data */
		$r = bp_parse_args( $args['args'], array(
			'profile_group_id' => 0,
			'user_id'          =>  $user_id
		), 'bp_xprofile_user_admin_profile_loop_args' );

		$i = 0;
		
		if ( bp_has_profile( $r ) ) {
			
			while ( bp_profile_groups() ) {
				
				bp_the_profile_group(); 
				
				while ( bp_profile_fields() ) {
					
					bp_the_profile_field();
					$field_type = bp_xprofile_create_field_type( bp_get_the_profile_field_type() );

					$fields[ $i ]['name'] = bp_get_the_profile_field_name();
					$fields[ $i ]['id'] = bp_get_the_profile_field_input_name();
					$fields[ $i ]['value'] = bp_get_the_profile_field_edit_value();
	
					$i++;
				}
			}		
		}
		return $fields;
		
	}

i am using “fine pro” theme, the child theme was created as dafault, can i use this child theme for buddypress customization? , if yes, where can i find that text CSS CODES for changing style in table profile fields? I have searched for table profile fields CSS code in buddypress default.css, but i don’t know which code is related to profile field text.

Thanks again Shane. I’ll try to explain again.

At high level, I want users, in their user profile, to be able to select one or more skills that they have. Skills are posts of a post type.

At lower level, I want, in a BP user profile, a field which is either a multi-select, or a set of checkboxes. The values selectable should be titles of posts from the “Skills” post type (I’ll actually save the IDs of the posts, but the titles should be displayed).

The user should be able to select these values both when registering and when editing their profile.

Possible implementations I can think of would be:
– Implement a new field TYPE called “skill”, create a field of that type in BuddyPress, and write some hooks that display and save the field.
– Add some custom code using action hooks to the bottom of the registration and edit profile screens.

I know it’s kinda hard to explain in a short forum post. There just doesn’t seem to be some simple, documented hooks that a plugin can use to extend the user profiles with new custom fields of new types and I was looking for some guidance/best practice for doing this.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks Shane.

I was thinking more of something that’s like profile fields, that you edit in the member sign-up and profile edit screens, rather than creating new screens. What I’d REALLY like is something like the Group extension API for users. But instead the registration/register.php and /members/single/profile/edit.php templates seem to have a large amount of almost-duplicated code and inconsistent hooks.

Yeah, I know – if I want an extension system I should contribute it, right? 🙂

Any thoughts on adding profile fields with dynamic values in the way that I need? The best way would seem to be to use something like the bp_custom_profile_edit_fields and bp_signup_profile_fields action hooks, but I’m not sure that they are specific enough.

Thanks

I still get this issue, now only User can see his xProfile – Even Admin can’t see other user xProfile. I have tried to switched to the Twenty Theme, but it still happens.

I have traced to here:

//I have two profile Groups, the Base group and one more I created.
// I created a User with full profile fields data.

<?php while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>
<?php if ( bp_profile_group_has_fields() ) : ?>

If the user view his own profile the bp_profile_group_has_fields() will return True two times. But if another user view this user profile it will only return True 1 time and the 2nd time is false – that makes it display only Base group profile Fields and xProfile fields can’t display.

I use WP 3.9 Latest BuddyPress and installed a lot of plugins.
